No one can afford their boats ? Just a wild guess.

I heard they were going to "restructure" things.

Sounds like the place I retired from. They do it every 6 months seems like. They call it " realignment ". Ha!

I don't know anything at all about their business. They have some really nice looking boats, but I rarely see any on the water. I think it's more of a passion and hobby than it is a business. I'm jealous of course... what a life to design and build boats.

You have no idea how bad I want to respond to that but I will be a gentleman and keep it fair. Although it would go against everything they preach if they were to promote a smart person that actually knows what they are doing. However one or two slip by every now and then. Very Happy Becarful what you say little brother lurks in the darkness on here waiting to stab you in the back. besides that.....I love retirement it gets better and better everyday.

buddy of mine told me about those 2 new vacuum furnaces they put in your old shop. Not enough amperage service into the building to run them properly. $2.5mil+ wasted money! As far as Snake is concerned, it would be wise of him to start looking to other horizons before the OIG starts looking his way......He now has a track history of not liking people of a certain skin color. And his "pro-people of a certain skin color" alliances to NOMAR, certainly wont look good....

When you treat people badly and bully them it can have adverse affects on the person and what it could cause them to do. Usually the bullied person does things they normally wouldn't do in all types of shapes and forms. There are certain parties that bully their employees to save themselves out there. That's what they make lawyers for. As for the furnaces I was never allowed to put in my 2 cents it may have made me the SME look good. Can't have that can we ?

Been like 10 mos for me now Stan, doesn't feel so weird anymore and I hardly ever think about the b.s. anymore. Guess it served a purpose for us anyway and the joke is on them. D

p.s. Sorry if we hijacked your post RF, interesting on the FatCats, they were really stacking them up there for awhile, had some wild looking rigs. But don't know anyone with one, or even heard about anyone with one. Too high priced for a relatively newer name?
